Chapter 248 I Won't Hurt You
Gu Qing reached out to wipe the blood from his face, but Lou Xiaoyu took a step back. Gu Qing quickly said, her voice tinged with grievance, "Xiaoyu, don't you like me anymore? I'll be very sad." As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.
Lou Xiaoyu's expression relaxed slightly. Finally, seeing that Gu Qing was still crying, he took a step forward and reached out to wipe away her tears.
After a long while, he said with a dry mouth, "Don't cry."
Gu Qing reached out and took her hand, slowly walking forward. As they got closer, she could clearly see the fish-scale-like patterns on his neck.
She moved close to him, ignoring the dirt on his body and the strangeness of his appearance, and then reached out to hug him.
He murmured, "I want a hug, I want Xiaoyu to hug me."
Her voice was muffled and unclear, but since the other person was a fighter, they would definitely be able to hear her clearly. Therefore, Lou Xiaoyu stiffly raised her hands halfway, looked down at the person in her arms, and did not make any movement.
Seeing that he didn't react strongly, Gu Qing straightened up and looked at his arms. Following the arms, she saw a chain made of water in his hands.
Gu Qing reached out and poked him. Lou Xiaoyu dodged to the side, and then saw that Gu Qing was about to cry again. He said with a slight tremor in his lips, "Danger."
Gu Qing pouted, "Then hurry up and hand him over to someone else. That way you can hold me. I feel sad when you don't hold me."
Lou Xiaoyu frowned slightly, thought for a long time, then raised the hand holding the chain and gestured with her chin toward one of the elders of the Lou family.
He must have sensed that the other party was also of the water element. The clan elder was surprised for a moment, then slowly approached, and their hands touched.
Lou Xiaoyu first looked down at Gu Qing, her brows furrowing involuntarily. She then reached out and pulled Gu Qing into her arms, moving her away from the man.
The elder dared not make the slightest unnecessary movement, gathering his supernatural power in his hands to transfer the water chain, while also issuing his warning, "Mine."
As soon as he took it, a powerful pressure slowly pressed down on him. The elder quickly took a few steps back, until he reached what Lou Xiaoyu considered a safe distance from which he could no longer feel the pressure.
The sea was rough, and the waves were crashing against the deck railings. Gu Qing pretended to shiver and said, "Xiaoyu, it's so cold here. Shall we go back?"
Lou Xiaoyu took a moment to react, then took his hand and walked into the cabin. He seemed to have a clear understanding of the layout of this kind of ship, and led her directly to the captain's lounge.
Gu Qing gently tugged at him and turned to her own lounge. After entering the room, she said to him, "Go wash up first, and I'll go wash up too, change my clothes, and then I'll bring some good food over."
Upon hearing his words, Lou Xiaoyu observed for a moment, then reached out her hand, and a huge water sphere appeared, enveloping the two people and spinning around, carrying away all the dirt.
Even Gu Qing's clothes and hair were completely dry. Helpless, Gu Qing pulled him to sit on the sofa and then took out the mental energy pollution testing device.
She kept explaining to him, "Xiaoyu, shall I test you?" When he didn't react, she sat down in his lap and snuggled up to him.
Lou Xiaoyu reached out and put her arm around her, her eyes fixed on the instrument in the woman's hand pointing at her. Although her eyes showed disapproval, she did not stop her in any way.
The sound of the detection instrument was turned down very low, and Gu Qing even held her breath when it announced, "(Beep beep, the combatant's contamination level has reached 88 points.)"
A sense of panic welled up in Gu Qing's heart. After just one battle, she had only achieved this much. It seemed that Lou Xiaoyu's pollution level had already exceeded 60 points long ago.
But he never mentioned it, perhaps because his level didn't match the other party's? So mentioning it wouldn't really make a difference.
Gu Qing opened the smart device to contact the bamboo slip, but the other party sent her a message first: "How is Chief Lou?"
"It's alright for now, there haven't been any drastic actions, but I just checked the pollution level and it's reached 88. I'm wondering how long it can stay calm like this?"
After all, if the pollution level reaches 90 or above, it's beyond saving and the person will be sent to a mental riot control center for supervision and await death.
After seeing the message, Zhu Jian remained silent for a long time. Just as he was about to say something to comfort Gu Qing, Gu Qing sent another message.
"I feel like I'm about to level up. Once I reach rank B, I can start soothing it. Although its level isn't high enough to be very effective at soothing, at least I can keep it under control..."
